Wireless printers do not need laptops for to work. If you really have two identical wireless printers, configured using DHCP. You should not have any conflicts. If you are using static IP addressing you might have conflicts if you choose the same IP for both. If your printers connected to laptops which make you printers wireless, again you should not have any problems (if the laptops do not have problems with its IPs).


to have wireless service at home do i have to have a phone line or internet already?

A DSL line requires phone service in the house. A cable modem does not as it uses the cable t.v. lines. Once you have Internet access at home, you connect a wireless router to extend the service to the entire house. That's not exactly accurate. You need a line to the house from the phone company, but you don't have to have phone service, you can have stand alone DSL service.

How can you receive an active phone line through broadband?

The best thing to do is to set up a wireless router at your downstairs point and then access the Internet anywhere in the house from that. Presuming you have a laptop that has wireless access. Then you don't need to worry about the line going upstairs. Your PC at the point of access can still access the net direct via the line, so it doesn't need to have wireless. So just get yourself a wireless router.

Do you need a phone line for dsl?

The first step in deploying wireless broadband is to get broadband service to your location. Broadband service is delivered by an ISP--Internet service provider--and can come to your home or place of business in different ways. The phone line is just one of many options today: * via a telephone line (DSL) * via the TV cable * via satellite * via a T-1 or T-3 dedicated circuit * via cellular wireless. Every one of these services will (or can*) terminate in a device that will provide one or more network ports, usually RJ-45 type. The high-speed network is available at that port, into which you can plug a computer, a router, a switch, other networked equipment, or a wireless router. The wireless router will have several network ports into which you can direct-connect networked devices (PCs, printers, VOIP devices, etc.). Plus the wireless router is your wireless access point, capable of communicating Ethernet traffic wirelessly to over a hundred different devices. Each device of course needs a wireless adapter to uphold its end of the communication and must be within range of the wireless router. So we see that it's quite possible to subscribe to a broadband service and supply wireless broadband access at your location without a telephone access point. _______________ * The cellular wireless access-point device usually plugs directly into a computer.

Do you need to have a phone socket to have a wireless router?

The answer to the question is "No." However, the fact that you're asking the question indicates that you may not really understand what a wireless router does. It allows you to connect a computer which is within range of the wireless router to another computer (or several computers, or printers which allow wireless connections, etc.) which is also within range of the wireless router. It does not allow you to connect directly to the internet; if you want to do that, you're going to need some kind of other connection.
